One of the two old Jack Spratt factories we have in Sherbrooke is being turned into a commercial building. The addition of residential floors above it could be the next step.
THat grey sheet metal or whatever it is on the Bell Centre has not aged well. Fortunatley the Tour des Canadiens will hide it from this angle. Although the side facing St. Antoine Street is even worse.

Fortunately, this facade will be largely obscured by the future CF projects. Soon enough the ugly sides of the Bell centre will no longer be relevant to the urban landscape. The only exception will be the Bell's eastern facade, which will be visible from the Windsor/Deloitte courtyard, and which I quite like.
I freaking love the look of pine trees in a city; wish Montreal had more of them to compliment our gorgeous deciduous mix.
Did I just say gorgeous deciduous mix?
LOL, yes you did. I wish the same for Toronto. I never understood why the only ever plant deciduous trees on the city streets here. Are they possibly more prone to damage from salt compared to pines? There most be a logical reason for it.

They turn the soil acidic and then very few non-conifers can grow in it.
